SALOONS AND TAXES.
MILLER, OAK. Oct. 81.


Ems, PHEss 1T is too late in the nine-
teenth century TO defend the saloons from
q moral or social standpoint. No one
whose reputation is not in the last stage Of
dry rot would risk il in such AN adventure.
But there Is lower plane upon which
some men still defend them, viz from
pecupiary stand point, knowing that the
great sympathetic nerve Of the average
man runs along directly under the poke:
with the pocket.book as the centre.
There is nothing, scarcely. upon which
two OF your correspondents have iabored
to show that the licensing Of saloons
would relieve the people Of great part OF
their taxes. One Of them says il local
option is defeated, seven saloons (, i'll be

tue same argument, only not specifying
the school tax. Perhaps he thought that
people Of even average humanity would
be shocked at the idea Of having their
children educated on "blood. morey"
Bat let us look at the sophistry OF this
argnment-for il Is but one argument IN
both.-I shall give these gentlemen oil
the beniht OF their argument, il you please
TO call it such. Seven saloons pay into the
couLty treasury a, 500. Very well. hal

THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION,

So fsr IS We are able 10 learn this ques-
has been discussed upon its merits this
year. The discussion has been quiet and
orderly, as II should be. SO different from
other campaigns In the past. The en-.
th.isiasm and bitter feeling manifested
heretofore is absent this year from both
sides. The most natural conclusion Of
this result is the fact that for one side mt
least, 1t is merely matter of principal.
and not peie. Two years ago the tenn
perance people started out On tho same
line of policy M that displayed this Year.
They we're probibitionisis from choice and
not Tor revenue only. The campaign was
mapped out and an agreement entered
into that none Of tho leaders should allow
their names TO be used as candidates for
any Office. This was asking too much Of
u portion Of them at least end no sooner
was the campaign fairly on than two or
three Of the leaders themselves produced
the evidence that proved the oft-rcpeated
assertion OF their epponents, viz: That
the width Of the swath they sere cutting
for principal. was regulated by the size
Of the salary connected with the Office de-
sired. This year there are no oiices in
sight. and the PRESS, f one, gives the
Temperance people conducting the cam
paign, credit flor their sincerity and sf-
rorts on behalf OF humanity, which, under
the circumstances. we we're unable to do
two years age. At TINT time Il was 10 pal
pable the self-appointed leaders were
such from purely selfish motives, that they
and their issue were showed under by a
disgusted people. IL n comparison be-
tween the two years does not furnish a
lesson for the temperance people. they
surely must be as their opponents charge,
fanatics Of the FIRST water.
The PRESS believes the county at large,
consisting as 1t does mainly Of people cn-
gagged IN agricultural pursuits. is naturally
enough prohibition county. But We as
sert--and this may seem remarkably
strange to sincere temperance man from
principal--that this wear il is question OF
cxpediency. The quiet voter who is con-
sidering the expedient and not the en-
thusiastic side does not tell where he
stands. This class Is largely in the ma
jority in Hand county this year, which
makes il impossible to forecast tic result
Of the election on the temperance queS-
tiou. II this majority considers We can
get along without the revenue derived
from, the saloon, il must go. Otherwise
it will stay. IL is deplorable that this is
